This large one family home located in Griswold, CT was in need of a roof replacement and the homeowners turned to us for help. We began by tearing off one layer of existing roofing materials and disposing of them properly. We then inspected the roof deck and replaced 3 sheets of damaged plywood decking. To ensure protection from the elements, we layed down two rows of Ice & Water Barrier along the roof. In places where there was no Ice & Water Barrier, we installed a Synthetic Underlayment to repel water. For shingles, we installed a Klaus Larsen Roofing System with Cambridge Architectural Shingles in the Charcoal Grey colorway. To finish the job we replaced the vent pipe boot and installed a ridge vent to provide the attic with ventilation. This home is now complete thanks to Klaus Larsen Roofing!
Here was a ranch home in Stonington, CT which had a lot of moss and lichen build up on its shingles. Both moss and lichen spores love to take hold and grow on the north side of trees, as well as the shady areas of roofs. Older, 3-tab shingles, like the ones used on this home, were not designed with any type of resistance to this type of fungal growth. Power washing and chemical solvents are not recommended as they will often actually take granules of asphalt off, and can even void some insurance plans! The amount of shade on this roof is still going to be conducive to moss growth, however the Owens Corning Duration shingles we install are manufactured to ward off algae.
The owners of this beautiful, coastal home in Stonington, CT called Klaus Larsen for a roof replacement on their home and garage. First, the Klaus Larsen team tore off a layer of shingles. Next, the damaged roof decking was replaced with new plywood. Three rows of Owens Corning Weatherlock G Ice & Water Shield was installed, along with Owens Corning Duration Shingles, in the color Brownwood. An Owens Corning VentSure Ridge Vent was replaced and installed, allowing these homeowners to feel secure during the rainy days.
This house in Woodstock CT was in need of a new roof. To start the process we tore off and disposed of one layer of existing roofing material, and replaced 5 sheets of damaged plywood decking.

At this late 1980's Cape style home in Brooklyn, CT we completely replaced the roof on the main house as well as the attached garage. We installed three rows of Owens Corning Weatherlock G Ice & Water Shield to protect the home from any moisture. We replaced the old shingles with new Owens Corning Oakridge Shingles in the color Estate Gray. To ensure complete protection from outside elements we installed Ventsure Ridge Vents with a Weather Protector moisture barrier to provide top-notch consistent attic ventilation. This home had existing skylights that we replaced with a new Velux Fresh Air Deck Mount VS Skylight.
